Nights of distraction/I really do think of you all. Really.

I do this to myself every night. (For context, it is at this moment 15 minutes past midnight).

I will be in bed by 11:30 tonight. I will. This is what I told myself. This is what I told my friend who just signed off Gchat. This is what I told my boyfriend who just left. I've had my me time. I can go to bed.

Hm, [insert blogger's name here] went on vacation recently. That's neat. Oh Greece! I've always wanted to go to Greece. I wonder how much flights there will cost. [clicks onto travel web site].
.
.

Hm. That's expensive. Maybe if I left from La Guardia .... hm. Maybe if I left from Newark... hm. Maybe I'll vacation domestically. Where should I ... ohmygod what WAS that cupcake place in DC my friend is always talking about?. [Googles]
.

Oh man. Those look so good. I am totally getting a cupcake at work tomorrow. Definitely can't wear that too-tight skirt that was supposed to fit me by now. [Gets up and tries on skirt.]
.
.
.
Oh God. Oh no. Definitely cannot wear this. Maybe if I poof my hair up a bit.... maybe if I put on this red lip-gloss.... damn, this is not going to come off now. Come off come off come offffohcrap it's not 11:55!

Go to bed, Lauren. Go to bed. Okay check Twitter one more time. Refresh. Refresh.

Why do I click on Youtube videos, they are never as funny as the person is touting them to be. Except for that one I saw yesterday... where was that? Hahaha
.
.
.
Refresh.
.
.
.
I wonder what cupcake I should eat tomorrow. I wonder if anyone has posted any new cupcake photos on Flickr. Or if there's a new cupcake blog with new cupcake recipes. Or if @CupcakeStop will be by my building tomorrow. [clicks]

Oh it's fine I'll just sleep on the train...wait. WHERE IS MY TRAIN SCARF. I'll freeze without my train scarf. It is effing freezing on that train. I even wrote an angry letter to NJTransit about it. I can't believe what they told me. I'm getting angrier and more awake just thinking about it. MUST FIND SCARF. [finds scarf]
.
.

I should really blog about all this. I know my readers will appreciate my witty banter and strong opinionsholymother it is 12:45!! Damn it, my blog!

I'm still in bed before 1. That is all that matters.

Where is my iTouch?


I've grown tired of this nightly ritual - it keeps my mind awake too long and pushes me further away from you each day, my poor little neglected blog and blog friends. How are you all doing? Or, better still, how are you sleeping?

And, of course, check out these cupcakes:






From SAS Cupcakes in Newark, DE - in honor of my sister's first few days at UD! (But more on that later - hey, Villanova, I had a SHELF for a desk freshman year and she's got TWO dressers.)






It's 12:42. Errr.
